We are engineers here. And engineers are blunt, don't like bullshit, and will call things out as they see it.

And anyone who thinks differently than you and your mates isn't an engineer, really. Lacks the capacity for logic. Got it.

You are a good example yourself.
Instead of softly answering and correcting, that some people might be different, etc, you accused "Dave and mates" for lack of logic. :-DD
Because from your point of view it's bullshit and you are blunt. Like Dave said.
But do you know what else good engineers have? (in my opinion)
Self-criticism, ability to admit mistakes, analysis of other people's opinions (especially if they are overwhelming majority) and the desire to find a solution, a compromise.

That's way too radical, it will never catch on! Instead, let's make a two-party political system where the two sides are not premitted to agree on anything other than motherhood and apple pie.

Couldn't believe that wouldn't degenerate into a free-for-all troll-fest, so figured I'd have a quick look. Gotta run their browser, so that's killed it dead straight off. There's a link right at the bottom of the page to a 'comment extension' which I thought might provide a normal browser with the ability, but it goes nowhere. Not even after allowing Twitter (eh? Is it forcing one to let twitter/facebook/et all track one's browsing?) and associated unblocking.
